Sean Bean

English actor Shaun Mark "Sean" Bean (born 17 April 1959) played Boromir in The Lord of the Rings film series.

Bean had previously played Richard Sharpe in the well known British TV series Sharpe, based on Bernard Cornwell's novels about the Napoleonic Wars. Boromir's comment about the shards of Narsil in The Fellowship of the Ring ("Still sharp!") is believed to be included as a nod to that role.

Bean reunited with Orlando Bloom in Troy as Odysseus, whereas Bloom had the role of Paris.

He has also played in the series Game of Thrones, which is adapted from the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.
